The veterinary intravenous iv solutions market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for veterinary intravenous (IV) solutions has experienced robust growth in the recent past. The growth from $1.5 billion in 2024 to an anticipated $1.62 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%, is predicted.
The significant growth noted in the historic period could be due to factors such as the surge in the number of veterinary clinics, an increase in dehydration cases, expansion in livestock farming, an increase in the number of household pets, and growth in veterinary diagnostic methods.
The veterinary intravenous iv solutions market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of veterinary intravenous (IV) solutions is projected to witness significant expansion in the coming years, reaching $2.19 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
Factors contributing to the predicted growth during the forecast period include increased uptake of pet insurance, escalation in animal healthcare spending, heightened awareness regarding animal healthcare, growing instances of animal diseases, and expanded pet insurance coverage. Some of the identifiable trends for this period encompass technological advancements, variation in product formulations, incorporation of telemedicine, enhanced veterinary intravenous (IV) delivery systems, and the emergence of intelligent veterinary intravenous (IV) systems.
The rising incidences of various animal diseases are anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the veterinary intravenous (IV) solutions market. Animal diseases, which encompass health conditions or disorders impacting animals, include common diseases like anthrax, leptospirosis, rabies, canine distemper, heartworm disease, among others. The escalating prevalence of these diseases can be attributed to factors such as extensive farming activities, wildlife intrusion, and resistance to antibiotics. Veterinary intravenous solutions serve a vital role in rehydrating animals hit by diseases causing dehydration, like gastroenteritis or severe infections, thereby ensuring total hydration and promoting holistic health outcomes. For example, AVMA Publications, the publishing wing of the American Veterinary Medical Association based in the U.S, revealed in July 2024 that approximately 345 domestic animals were confirmed with rabies in 2022, indicating a 10.9% increase from the 311 incidents reported in 2021. Hence, the accelerating prevalence of diverse animal diseases is facilitating the growth of the veterinary intravenous (IV) solutions market.

Key players within the veterinary intravenous (IV) solutions market are concentrating on the evolution of superior products such as fluoroquinolones to enhance their effectiveness and safety levels. Fluoroquinolones represent a potent category of antibiotics employed in both human and veterinary medicine for controlling various bacterial infections, provided their usage is well-managed to curb resistance and side effects risks. For instance, Elanco, a pharmaceutical firm based in the U.S., unveiled Pradalex in April 2024. Pradalex is a pradofloxacin injection solution greenlit by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a health organization based in the U.S. The clearance for use in swines is for addressing swine respiratory disease (SRD) linked with pathogens like bordetella bronchiseptica, Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis, Pasteurella multocida, streptococcus suis, and mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. As a 3rd generation fluoroquinolone, Pradalex is deemed as an extremely critical antimicrobial. The labeling of the medicine highlights that it should be designated only when other non-fluoroquinolone therapeutic alternatives have been considered.
